Key Skills:

• Analytical thinking: Especially analytical thinking from a legal perspective, and contributing with any ‘value-add’ where relevant.

• Use proprietary tooling to preserve, search, sort and organise large amounts of electronic data related to ongoing and threatened litigation.
• Provide value-add impact to internal litigation teams, by proactively advancing investigations on behalf of litigation counsel, based on subject matter expertise and intimate knowledge of internal operational workflows.
• Prepare high-quality, comprehensive case reports for internal and outside counsel.
• Work autonomously to manage a large docket of matters simultaneously, for various litigation counsel across EMEA.
• Assist with the development of multi-disciplinary structures, policies, procedures, process and controls implemented to manage sensitive information at an enterprise level.
